The whole family seemed to fear something extraordinary had happened. Then I dashed on my bicycle in the direction of the big Price Brother-s' lumber yard. The whole yard was on fire. You have to understand how that lumber yard is arranged to understand why the fire spread with such speed and grew so vio- lent. In the lumber yard the wood is piled in what we call wood-cages. It's like when you build a fire. You place one log one way and another on top in such a way as to leave good air flowing between the logs. That's the way the whole yard was arranged. I went home to give some news of the fire and then returned. Then I saw the mill was on fire. My fa- ther. who worked at Price. came and rescued one of his tool boxes. He carried the 150-pound box home on his shoulder and then we all went to fight the fire. when we arrived clouds of embers were blowing into the city - pouring into St. Germain street at the cor- ner of Lavoie. our house was just there so we put ourselves to work with the pails and poured water on the grounds. We thought we were quite safe. But when the fire came. it took only five minutes to burn our house. We lost S25.000. including the house, furniture and clothes. We-my father. mother. five sis- ters and brothers-now are all in the house of an uncle. Two tenants in the u per part of our house are also liv rig elsewhere though I don't quite know where one of them is. I haven't slept for 40 hours. Look at my raincoat, it's full of black holes. Those were made by embers. I saw peculiar scenes. I saw I. woman sitting on a balcony with a hose in her hand, filling up polls of water. Her son came to get them to throw them on embers that were falling like rain on the house.. Of course it was useless and sort of pathetic. The whole house burned. At one point during the night we went on the hill to see the whole fire. . The whole town was red. Thor was a low howl caused by the flames quite apart from the wind itself. We were sure the whole town would burn. If you ask me what I'm going to do - I'm going to sleep now. You know that sounds funny. I really don't know what to do. I guess I should. though.

A report that former Sheriff Charles Danjoii died of a heart attack was described as resulting from confusion and inaccurate re- ports. 312 Homes Destroyed Army and city officials said polled information from refugees indicated 312 homes had been de- stroyed and damaged. The officials said that more than 2.000 persons have been left home- less, but are being accommodated tonight in army tents and in the homes of friends.

The plan. it carried out. will be under the leadership of the fsrmers' organizations. in co- operation with the Institutes. the Legions. and the Teachers' Feder- ation. The whole question will be fully discussed at a meeting to be held sometime in the future. The conference was held in the Federation of Agriculture office. undr the Cillis snship of Mr. J. . Murphy. president of the Teachers Federation. and was cal- led for the primary purpose of discussing informally together the Island educatlorisl system, its Night Schools Proposed At Conference Sponsored By Teachers Federation weaknesses and its strong features. Because of the fact that the farm- ers had another meeting follow- ing, the whole program its eche- diiled could not be carried out. but the unanimity of opinion is that such educational meetings should be continued. Education after Grade VIII took up most of the discussion. On the questgin whether the educational system of the Province is ade- quate beyond this grede. the con- clusion was reached that it is edu- cating away from the farm. as the present system does not offer much for the boy or girl on the farm. At the end of Grade Vlli. it is felt that there should be a divergence away from the purely academic. and that a choice of subject matter should then be available to the student.
